Your new potential hire has just left your office following a final interview. You feel great about their attitude and they appear to have the pedigree of a top candidate. They have all the signs for success: a resume full of great experience, stories about converting tough clients, and the charisma/charm and character you’ve only ever read about in hiring books.
He/she is a perfect fit for your company. You wonder how a candidate like this falls into your lap and you feel ecstatic! But have you ever sat down and asked why other companies did not hire this candidate?
Why he/she was on the market so long? How they were so perfect and slipped through the competitors’ grasps? Your answer may be revealed with a simple background check. Over one-third of resumes have misleading information about job experience or even school qualifications. In addition, 75% of substance abusers are already employed, many without their employers’ knowledge.
Could your candidate be one of these perpetrators…things are already starting to look a little shaky for your ideal candidate. The best way to determine if your candidate is the real deal is to conduct background screening. Read on to learn more about protecting yourself and your company from the risks of a bad hire.
